Nix. EDITOR: In Fridays, paper
Won say that the freedom of the
City is no longer given to the horses
and cows, and you propose that the
unsightly wooden fences and iron
ratings should come down, so that
the trees and flowers and grass
might have a chance to grow and
breath the pure free air of heaven.
You arc right. They should come
down. The passer-by and the next
door neighbor have rights. They
should have the chance to view the
beauties of the high priced flowers
and shrubs in the next door yard,
unohstructed by the high board
fence: the chance to make quiet, un-
obstrusive observations about the
keeping of the flowers, the length
OF the unknown grass and the scrag-
gy appearance of the uncared for
trees. Yes, the passer-by should
have the privilege of using the seats
on the shaded lawns, to enjoy the
balmy air and the spicy perfumed
zephyrs that float lazlly along from
flower to flower. The passer-by has
rights. Shall he longer confne
himself to the blazing, scorching,
red hot brick payements? Must be
eschew the grass of emerald hue?
Even the prowling dogs on the
streets enjoy the benificences of the
city fathers. They pass in at every
open, hospitable gate and stretch
themselves at quiet ease upon the
soft green sward. love the dogs.
They are so much like gentlemen.
They have such good opinions of
themselves. They do nothing. One
of your writers signing himself,
"Citizen," in some issues back,
seems to be down on the dogs in
this city. | cannot understand why
he should object to their music. He
should study them. When dog
barks or howls, he has ansobiect in
view, although Citizen" might
not understand him, still al the
dogs do. When old dog Tray howis
at the moon, he means something.
he may be serenading his sweetheart
or he may be inviting all the other
dogs to a private banquet that he
knows of on the outskirts Of the
city, and takes this method of issu-
ing his invitations. A dog isa very
sensible animal and should not be
condemned on any mans iDse digit.
lie is very useful and is generally
the master of the owner. Many
people imagine that theyown the dog,
when it is just the reverse. When
it is taken into consideration that
the owner has to find and cook food
for bis pet, and play the slave gen
orally about his dogship, any one
then can see who is master. To be
sure man may switch or kick the
dog; that does not prove anything,
as the dog can bite his owner and
make him afraid. | do not. agree
with Citizen. The dogs have
rights, and will maintain them;
they do not obstruct the streets aud
the alleys to such an extent that
the stranger cannot invest his cap
ital with us. | think if we had
few more dogs, the city would grow
larger; nor would there be so much
expense to the city to move the gar
bage, and those who deal in meats
would grow richer. Let Us have
more dogs-millions of them-and
a few more like "old dog Tray ever
faithful. Yours, for the dogs,
Pluto.

gun is S97, 900, and it costs to fire
it 5000. If Congress is anxious to
get rid of the surplus money IN the

COLONEL Ingersoll is going
around asking such questions as
"who was Gains wife," hoping
thereby to impair peoples conf
dence in the Christian religion. BY
the way, we have one, a very old
one, for the Colonel. Which is the
mother of chicken, the hen that
laws the egg or the incubator that
matches it? The bearing of this
problem upon Christianity is even
more pressing than that of the Col
onel's.

views in the following paragraph /:
1T is to be hoped that the DAYS of
Arctic exploration are over. There
is dread fascination about the
hyperborean regions, a fascination
akin to that of Niagara, which,
according to the Indian tradition
claims a certain number of victims
every year. Men who have bravely
suffered from blindness, scurvy,
and untold mental anguish, return

Tue VIM. T. Coleman boom for the
presidency is ripening apace in the de-
lightful spring atmosphere of balmy Cal,
ifornia. 1t won't do, however, to let Mr..
Coleman's boom ripen too soon. Senator
Hearst has endorsed the candidacy and
r. Coleman does net lack for friends in
his hour of political need. The fact that
his friends are merely confined to Califor-
MIA and that the returns from California
by no means equal those from the remain
ing States in the Union will give a pretty
fair idea of Mr.. Coleman's presidential
prospects.-Cumberlan Times.
The Times is greatly mistaken in
supposing the Coleman boom to be
confined to California. Bro. Dana
of the t,co Suns, both daily, has
started boomlet for Coleman in
New York State that may puzzle the
politicians in 1888.

They Avoid the Track.

Why the Indians n their depreigtiOns have always lef, the railroad tracks se- yerely alone, has been matter of ire queDt comment, and Is peculiarly interesting just at present. The facI is the red skins regard locomotive with supersiitious terror. The vast steel ma chine, with its bissing steam pipes snd pulling smoke stack fills them with a sincere desire to get into the next county, and tD this fact passengers owe their safety in hostile country. The only case on record of brave tackling gn engine occurred On tine Union Paci- fic. 4 predatory Sioux saw the big metal monster approaching and settling himself firmly m hIs saddle determined to bag It and secure it's scalp. He had s iarist attached to his wrist and flung the moose directly over the smoke stack. A few hours later the engineer discov. cred small fragment of copper color ed meat Gt the end Of the lasso; the rest of the brave was distributed in sections along the road. The story spread far and wide and since then the savaSes have whipped their ponies ard com mendej their souls c. the Great Spirit every time they saw headlight-Inier Republics.
